Also known as malware, sneakware, or spyware,
adware is a
type of software program thats installed without a users consent or knowledge while another program is being
installed on the computer. Much like spyware, an adware program is used to track an individuals
Internet activities and/or habits to help companies
advertise more efficiently.
Adware is commonly installed on a computer with free programs to help support the development of that program.
Like spyware, adware can be located and removed from a computer using software utilities available on the Internet.
See our spyware page for examples and recommended programs.
